DIGITUS Tarjeta de expansión USB PCIe USB 3.0, 4 puertos A/H, chipset: VL805, autoalimentada

The Add-On Card Digitus 4-Port USB 3.0 PCI Express adds four external USB Type-A 3.0 ports to a desktop PC via a PCIe slot. It is powered by the VIA VL805 chipset, supports USB SuperSpeed data rates up to 5 Gbps and is backwards compatible with Hi-Speed, Full Speed and Low Speed USB devices. The card ships with a full-height bracket and a low-profile bracket for flexible installation in different PC cases.

Advantages

The card provides four external USB 3.0 ports with up to 3,000 mA available per port from the PCIe slot, supports hot-plugging and Plug and Play operation without additional drivers, and implements USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) for improved transfer efficiency. No external power adapter is required and the low-profile bracket increases installation options.

Suitable for

• Connecting external hard drives and SSD enclosures
• Attaching printers, scanners and cameras
• Adding high-speed USB ports to older motherboards
• Systems requiring a low-profile PCIe USB expansion card

How to use

Power off the PC and open the case. Insert the card into an available PCIe slot and secure it using the case bracket. If needed, replace the full-height bracket with the included low-profile bracket before installation. Close the case and power on the PC; the card supports Plug and Play so drivers are typically not required. Connect USB devices to the Type-A ports and use standard operating system file managers or device software to access connected storage or peripherals.

Recommendations

To ensure stable power delivery, install the card in a PCIe slot that provides sufficient power and avoid connecting multiple high-current devices to the ports simultaneously if your system's PCIe power budget is limited.
